Abstract

The various relativistic effects occuring in VLBI measurements are discussed. A concrete example showing the influence of the gravitational delay due to the Sun upon the delay residuals from fit in a Mark III geodetic VLBI experiment is given. It is argued that regular geodetic VLBI observations might provide the best test of Einstein's theory of gravity on the post-Newtonian level in the near future.
